snow Slide In the San Juan.

An old miner described a snow slide in
the San JuGn. He said the awful grandeur
Of such a scene was indescribable. The
snow usually came roaring down at night
when the voice of the wind was sobbing
and moaning through the pine trees rs IL
IL were some human thing sent forth to
roam about the earth through all the ages.
There was usually a high wind, a great
crash, and then for a time all was chaos,
and he that came out alive thanked his
lucky stars and prepared to move his cabin
TO some warmer cline. He said there were
a great many lives lost in Colorado by
means of snow slides. Last year POO peo-
pie we're sacrificed TO the snow fiend.
He had often noticed long, bare places
on the mountains, where the snow slides
had torn away the trees and hurled them
with tremendous force against the rocks
Of the deep canyon below. at is hard TO
say" he continued, ''as to where it is safe
TO live in the San Juan. Occasionally
there are snow slides about Mosquito pass
and over and about Aspen. March is the
most dangerous y nth in the year In those
mountainous regic.s. IL is then that the
snow king holds high carnival, playing
with, IL always seems, human lives for
very amusement. "-Denver Tribune-Re-
publican.

The Rag Pickera Of Paris.

In Paris the privilege of removing and
~overhauling the city's debris is farmed out
to large contractors, who hire c~hiffoniers,
as French rag pickers are called, who go
out at nightfan with their hottie, or square
basket, buckled over their shoulder and
grub over the piles OF ashes and sweepings
which have been placed in the streets.
They take everything of the slightest
value down to the smallest pieces of wood
and bits Of bread, and carry their burdens
to the contractors warehouses. They are
poorly paid, reside in squalid quarters, ex-
list for a few sous q day at the rag picker's
restaurant, indulge In some Of the gayeties
of life, such as attending a %chilfonier's
ball, and are members Of a well organized
rag pickers' mutual benefit society. The
agreement into which the contractors EN-
ter with the municipal authorities compel
the former TO remove the city refuse within
certain hours and gives them the sole
power of appointing ~chiffoniers. All other
persons who overhaul the household Off
scourings are amenable to city ordinance.
Consequently it is no unusual thing for
over 1000 900 francs worth OF old rags,
bones, etc, TO be taken out of the collec-
tions Of the 1000 chiffoniers. Brooklyn
Eagla
